mmacneill123 0 Posted December 20, 2011 This is a strange one, after i start, i hear what sound like a relay clicking slowly, intermittently for about 5mins...def not from the fusebox, sounds like it is behind the radio/instrument panel perhaps, everything electrical seems to be working, anyone any ideas???

Supercharged 2 Posted December 20, 2011 ABS maybe - behind the glovebox If so you maybe want to get your battery checked Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmacneill123 0 Posted December 20, 2011 Yes, that was my thought too when it started happening though the i hear the ABS relay on start and there is a short delay before the light comes on (actually after i start moving - fault there!!!) ... i will listen again and see if they happen together, what is even weirder is it seems to be happening even after i turn the engine off...am wondering if it is the Clifton (?) alarm?? :-) Pretty confident about battery and alternator, just had alternator done a few weeks ago and lots of motorway driving so batt well charged but will check :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmacneill123 0 Posted December 22, 2011 Pretty sure now it is something to do with the alarm which was basically un-used by the previous owner for 6yrs (!), he did not know how to turn it on (not as stupid as it sounds as there was a second switch on the dash as well as a master one in the engine bay) and so never used it. I just found the switch on the dash, changed the battery in the fob and it now 'works', at least locks the doors which is handy and the mechanic who took the battery off got an earfull of the alarm when he reconnected it.... for the first time last night pressing one of the buttons on the fob caused the rear lights to flash.... Anyone any idea what the buttons on the fob do?? it is a Clifton alarm and the fob has one big button in the middle and three small ones around it and there is even a small one on the side of the fob... Pressing two of them seems to lock the car....but above that i cannot work out what the difference is!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted December 22, 2011 Whatever you do, DON'T press the small button on the side :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4eyes2wheels 0 Posted December 22, 2011 I've got a Clifford alarm - pressing two buttons together puts it in and out of valet mode which stops it auto arming. (I have no button on the side but wouldn't push it even if I did!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
